Hi everyone,

I am having some problems with a capture template for datetrees.

(setq org-capture-templates
     '(("m" "Select meeting templates")
("ms" "Schedule a meeting" entry (file+headline "~/org/ meetings.org" "Meetings")
         "** %? %^t%^{CATEGORY}p\n"
         :empty-lines 1)
("mm" "Meeting minutes w/ clock" entry (file+datetree "~/org/ meetings.org")
         "**** %^{prompt} %U%^{CATEGORY}p\n\n     %?"
         :prepend t :clock-in :empty-lines 1 :immediate-finish)


After clock-in and after :immediate-finish, t is missing - all these keys need a value! The way you write it, :clock-in has the value :empty lines, and from then on the property list is broken.

        ))

I prefer to have empty lines between two headlines and headlines and
text. When I use the above "Meeting minutes w/ clock" template, the new entry to the date tree is inserted as below despite the ":empty- lines 1" argument. If I try to end the older entry with a blank line, the empty
like is removed and the new entry is placed like this again.

Any one knows what I am doing wrong? Thank you in advance,

I can confirm that :emtpy-lines 1 seems to have no effect in a
datetree capture template.  I filed two with the template

,----
| (setq org-capture-templates
| '(("X" "FOO" entry (file+datetree "/tmp/org/datetree.org" "Place table here" "" :empty-lines 1))))
`----

Also this looks like a buggy template definition to me.  If I fix it to:

 (setq org-capture-templates
'(("X" "FOO" entry (file+datetree "~/org/xxxx.org") "* Place table here" :empty-lines 1)))

I do get empty lines.

If you make the templates with customize, it is much harder to make mistakes in a complex variable like this.

Best wishes

And ended up with:

,----
| * 2011
| ** 2011-01 Januar
| *** 2011-01-09 Sonntag
| **** Fofofof
| [[file:~/projects/org-mode/minimal.el::'(("X"%20"FOO"%20entry %20(file%2Bdatetree%20"/tmp/org/datetree.org"%20"Table %20here"%20""%20:empty-lines%201))))][file:~/projects/org-mode/ minimal.el::'(("X" "FOO" entry (file+datetree "/tmp/org/ datetree.org" "Table here" "" :empty-lines 1))))]]
| **** Another one

`----

While I expected an empty line between "Fofofof" and "Another one".
